Canada is an oil producing country, with numerous local refineries, the price of PMS is:

1. @CBN Rate of 200/$: 172/ltr
2. @Aboki Rate of 300/$: 258/ltr.

We must be doing something in Nigeria to sell it at 86.50/ltr.

lookandlaff:
what the author has failed to observe is that we still import fuel. Whatever gain from the drop in the price of crude has been swallowed by the fall in the Naira

Firefire:
“we know how they started and where they are now.”

Youngzedd:
Before you blame the current administration go check the cost of crude and the cost of refining a barrel first.

Now, how many working refineries do the country have?

Because this things are imported with USD.

Blame the administration that promised us refineries and diverted the funds when subsidy was partially removed.

cutetopsey:
Am optimistic that before the end of Buhari adminstration, the price of PMS will come down to #3.00 since Nigeria is the biggest producer of oil in Africa and yet it was gathered that the same fuel that sells for N86.50 per litre (without payment of subsidy) in Nigeria goes for between N4 and N5 in Venezuela and N22 in Libya.......

This is an epic statement, anyone could be president not everyone should be

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

Chief magistrate Court 1, Kaduna, has denied Dr John Danfulani bail after being detained by the police for over 24 hours.

Danfulani, a lecturer with the Kaduna State University, KASU, is being held for alleged inciting and hateful statements in the social media against the people of northern Nigeria, thereby, capable of causing breakdown of law and order in northern Nigeria and other parts of the country. This is contrary to section 417 and 418 of the penal code of northern Nigeria.

The magistrate, Alhaji Awwal Musa while presiding over the case, said that the police was empowered to protect, investigate and carry out the duty assigned to them, hence the court cannot deny them their power.

He argued that the police had not finished their investigation yet, and as such, Dr Danfulani be remanded in police custody. He also said that further investigation must be concluded in the matter latest by Monday, 1st February, 2016.

Earlier, Barrister Gamaliel Kore, leading other six defending counsels sought for the bail of the accused person, saying that the case was bailable, and as a responsible lecturer, he would not jump bail.

He argued that the accused was invited by the police which he voluntarily honoured even when he was away in foreign country, stressing that if granted bail, he will always be available to stand trial.

The prosecuting officer had prayed that the court should not grant the accused person bail but should be remanded in police custody for three weeks to allow full investigation into the matter without any interference.


Danfulani, who was detained over an alleged Facebook comment is said to be a known critic of the government of Mallam Nasir El Rufai. Below is a screen shot of the post that allegedly got him arrested and detained.

Lamido Accuses Buhari of Divisive Campaigns

Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State has accused the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress APC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, of divisive campaigns in the northern and southern parts of the country.
Stating this yesterday at the Malam Aminu Kano Triangle during the official declaration of the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state and a former chief of staff, Malam Aminu Ibrahim Ringim, alongside his running mate, Dr Nurudeen Mohammad, Lamido noted that a critical look at the situation on the ground exposes people like Buhari as being insincere in both intent and purpose.

Elaborating, Lamido alleged that when Buhari talks to the electorate in the North, he usually plays up the religious card, but once he is in the South, he plays it down by harping on the unity of Nigeria.

Lamido wondered why Buhari had gone out of his way to select a Christian as his running mate and what this portends, adding: “Why then are our people vilified and maligned because they refuse to vote for a Muslim as their president and have opted for a Christian?
“If not, why is it that he chose a Christian as his running mate and shunned the Muslim community, then he turns round to tell the people in the North that his contest is anchored on promoting and guiding their ideological faith.”

The governor was of the opinion that “so long as we want Nigeria to get out of her present predicament, we must be sincere in the way we practise democracy so as to avoid a bloodbath and the rampant killing of Nigerians because of the interest of a few individuals."
Not stopping at blaming solely the former military head of state, Lamido said the main problem of Nigeria today politically speaking is the duo of President Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP and his main rival, Buhari, who will be squaring up against each other in the 2015 presidential election.

I am a frontline critic of Buhari but I try to avoid calling him a bigot or Muslim Fanatic because for me I personally feel that topic alone clouds other very poor qualities of Buhari which is the fact that the man does not really offer much in terms of leadership, brilliance, grasp of the issues or solution on how to move the country forward.

But when Sule Lamido says this about Buhari then we have to listen. Hausa Fulani muslim Northerners are not known to criticise fellow Muslims on issues of Faith and ethnicity. Yet Lamido can not be described as one of Jonathan's staunchest ally.

But the allegations that Buhari campaigns in the North as the defender of the Islamic faith but comes to the South to preach about National Unity really needs to be explored. These are very serious allegations!

Now Lamido went on to criticise Jonathan Goodluck because of the comments of Edwin Clarke and Asari Dokubo. I agree that Asari and Clarke needs to be called to order but there is a difference between ethnic warlords making threats on behalf of the candidates and a Presidential candidate directly playing religious card openly in the North while saying something else in the South.

This is serious

JoyPaulLaw:
Well, the point is ...GEJ was defeated and the normal thing for him to do was to accept it. Though it may be a difficult pill to swallow because he was the incumbent President... But the fact still remains He (GEJ) was defeated. If PMB fails.... by 2019 he will also be DEFEATED!

dikeigbo2:
Politicians always think about next elections.......while statesmen think about generations.

GEJ,you came,you saw and you conquered. We may equally not know the gravity and significance of that very phone call you made to Buhari accepting defeat.

Generations will reap this selfless act of patriotism.
God bless you sir.
You meant well for all Nigerians and Africans.

Amazingly CPC Defend Post Election Violence Murder, Says Those Murdered Were "Professionals" Not "Corpers"!
https://naijapundit.com/images/stories/general%20buhari.jpg

The Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) has come out to defend the post election murders that occurred after the 2011 elections saying that those who were murdered were not all Corpers but were IT Professionals who may have had sympathy for the rival People's Democratic Party.

Amazingly this near confession was caught on tape in an interview granted by the CPC's National Publicity Secretary, Rotimi Fashakin, who said that his party even traced one of those murdered via his facebook and established that he was an IT professional not a Corper.

But what Fashakin failed to tell Nigerians is that the murder of these youths was not justified if even they were not Corpers.

Fashakin also failed to tell Nigerians why the CPC's lawyers in Kaduna bailed out 600 of those arrested on connection with the post election violence as reported by the Vanguard of May 23rd 2011 (read more www.vanguardngr.com/2011/05/post-election-violence-cpc-effects-bail-of-600-suspects-in-kaduna/)

Speaking in the interview, Fashakin said "some so called (NYSC) members were murdered, but in actual fact some of these people are IT consultants."

He then went on to claim that his party investigated one of those murdered by tracing his facebook profile in his words they discovered that "he graduated from UNN in 2006 where he studied computer science and is also a manager at a computer firm in Lagos.” But Fashakin betrayed his ignorance of facebook by the statement.

Facebook's programme is many atimes formatted to list one's year of matriculation (year of entry) as one's year of graduation. Many readers who use facebook would realize this as it may have happened to them.

Also, many people don't like to leave their employment status as unemployed and so boost it by adding places where they may have worked in the past either as holiday jobs or in their parents firm and it is not good judgment to take the employment status on facebook as fact.
